Here is a look at 10 potential coaching candidates, with their ages in parentheses, for the 49ers, who fired Jim Tomsula on Sunday night after a 5-11 season:

SEAN PAYTON (52): It could cost the 49ers a second-round draft pick to trade for him from New Orleans. He became Saints coach in 2006 after working three years on Bill Parcells’ Dallas Cowboys staff. Payton has combined with Drew Brees for one of the NFL’s top offenses for nearly a decade, highlighted by the Saints’ Super Bowl title in the 2009 season. Payton is a San Mateo native but was raised in Naperville, Illinois.

CHIP KELLY (52): Fired last week before he could complete his third season as the Philadelphia Eagles coach. He went 10-6, 10-6 and 6-9. Described as stubborn, coldhearted and power hungry on his way out of Philadelphia, he arrived there as an offensive innovator thanks to his success at Oregon.

TODD HALEY (48): Was an offensive assistant on the Jets when 49ers general manager Trent Baalke got his NFL start there as a scout from 1998-2000, making them both Parcells disciples. Haley got his first head-coaching gig in 2009 with the Kansas City Chiefs, who fired him with a 5-8 mark in 2011. He was 19-26 overall in two-plus seasons with the Chiefs.

DAVID SHAW (43): Unlikely to follow Jim Harbaugh’s path out of Stanford, Shaw remains a coveted candidate for any vacancy. He just capped his fifth season on The Farm with his second Rose Bowl win. He has NFL coaching experience as an assistant with the Eagles (1997), Raiders (1998-2001) and Ravens (2002-05).

HUE JACKSON (50): Fired after going 8-8 as the Raiders coach in 2011, Jackson became the Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator and has served them well. They’re the AFC’s No. 3 seed this postseason, and Jackson has had to coach up second-year quarterback AJ McCarron in place of an injured Andy Dalton. Jackson played quarterback at the University of the Pacific, and he has been with five NFL teams — two separate stints with Cincinnati — since 2001.

JOSH McDANIELS (39): The New England Patriots offensive coordinator balked at the 49ers’ interest last year but perhaps is more open to it now. McDaniels spent nine years as a Patriots assistant before being the Denver Broncos coach in 2009 (8-8) and 2010 (3-9), when he was fired after Week 13.

ROB CHUDZINSKI (47): The Indianapolis Colts denied the 49ers permission to interview Chudzinski a year ago for their offensive coordinator job. He was the 2013 Cleveland Browns coach (4-12) after spending two seasons as the Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator working with dual-threat quarterback Cam Newton. Chudzinski moved from Colts associate head coach to interim offensive coordinator after Pep Hamilton was fired Nov. 3.

MIKE SHANAHAN (63): The NFL’s 11th-winningest coach (170-138) interviewed a year ago with the 49ers and is looking for his fourth head-coaching gig (Raiders 1988-89, Broncos 1995-2008, Washington 2010-13). He helped the 49ers to their last Super Bowl title during his tenure as offensive coordinator from 1992-94.

MIKE HOLMGREN (67): The San Francisco native has expressed interest, but he did so last year and couldn’t garner an interview. He ranks 13th in NFL history with 161 wins (against 111 losses). A 49ers assistant from 1986-91, he won a Super Bowl as Green Bay Packers coach (1992-98) before becoming the Seahawks coach (1999-2008) and Browns president (2010-12).

ADAM GASE (37): Last year’s runner-up for the 49ers job, Gase flourished this season as the Chicago Bears offensive coordinator. He already has interviews set up with the Browns, Eagles and Miami Dolphins. As unlikely as it is for the 49ers to beg him for forgiveness, who knows how desperate they’ll get?
